66 Chapter 66 - Fang of the Wolf King (2/2)

Letting the perpetrator escape during this fight sequence meant that the completion rate would be curbed at 80%, despite the chain quest being tagged as completed at that point.

”This guy…” Ye Xiaowu mumbled. The monitoring system's lack of sound prevented Ye Xiaowu from hearing Gu Fei's final words after he had cut down Mr. Adrian, ”You're the real idiot! Killing you means that all your fortune belongs to me now, right?”

”QUEST COMPLETE!” Xiaoyu cheerfully exclaimed after Adrian was defeated.

Gu Fei pulled out his quest log to check. The quest was still listed as ongoing, so there must still be some work left. In fact, Gu Fei had yet to receive an experience point even now.

As he looted Adrian's corpse, he indeed found a necklace among his valuables.

[Fang of the Wolf King. Turns wearer into a Werewolf Lord for 15 minutes. Cool-down period: 60 minutes.]

Gu Fei happily put it on, wanting to give it a try. Instead, he received a system prompt. [Quest item. Unusable for players.]

This was a rare sight in Parallel World. Even if Mages could not move when wearing the Warrior job class' heavy armor, they could still put it on. Gu Fei had never experienced being restricted from wearing an accessory around his neck.

Xiaoyu wanted to have a look as well, yet an unknown force prevented Gu Fei from handing it over to her.

”It says it's a quest item,” Gu Fei explained helplessly.

”Oh!”

”Let's keep looting,” Gu Fei bent over and continued searching Adrian's corpse, ”Let's search for the key to the cellar. There're a lot of gold ore in there.”

A key indeed hung by Adrian's waist. The two quickly rushed to the backyard with it, unlocking the cellar double doors and climbing down.

Although heaps of treasures could be found within, they were identical to the gold ore in Murphy's sack. The duo did not know if they could exchange gold ore for in-game currency. Gu Fei and Xiaoyu looked at each other.

”What now?” Xiaoyu asked.

”Can we exchange these for gold coins?” Gu Fei asked.

”I don't think so,” The gold ore Xiaoyu received were meant to be exchanged for a quest reward, and she was unsure if that would be in gold coins or something else.

They had a cellar full of gold ore, yet they had no way of turning them into usable in-game currency. It was truly a painful realization.

They could not carry all the gold ore back as well even if they wanted to. Gold ore were extremely heavy. Xiaoyu's burlap sack was carried by her, and Gu Fei's weak in-game physique could only sustain carrying the gold ore for three steps.

”Forget it!” Gu Fei sighed bitterly.

Xiaoyu began to repeat this mantra, ”There's no gold here, only trash… There's no gold here, only trash….”

The two had no choice but to leave the cellar empty-handed. Gu Fei brought the Fang of the Wolf King to the village chief as he explained the situation.

”It was all Adrian's doing. He used this trinket to transform himself into a Werewolf, threatening the villagers into drudgery. He even killed Murphy,” Gu Fei kept his word and did not mention the fact that half of the villagers in Yeguang Village were Werewolves.

”He's truly a scoundrel,” the village chief agreed, ”It's all thanks to you, Chosen Hero. You have resolved our village's greatest crisis, and to show our gratitude…” Chief Edwin swiftly went inside the house and searched through a cabinet's drawer.

Gu Fei felt excited. His efforts were not in vain now that he was about to receive his reward.

”Take these clothes!” The village chief emerged after a while and handed Gu Fei a robe – a mage robe to be precise.

Gu Fei was extremely disappointed. He was only wearing his mage robe to disguise his identity. Gu Fei honestly felt that he had wasted his time on completing such a difficult quest upon being solemnly issued a mage robe. Gu Fei truly hated the Mage job class now, as his reward was probably influenced by it. If Gu Fei were a Thief, he would probably get a thief cloak.

”Take it!” Chief Edwin said once more. Xiaoyu became anxious, ”Hurry up and take it! Just what are you dawdling for?”

Gu Fei glumly took the item, casually examining it.

Midnight Spirit Robe. Its defense was average, which was a common aspect of mage robes. Besides that, it increased Intelligence by 20, Spell Mastery by 1, and spell damage by 10%.

”What's Spell Mastery?” Gu Fei asked, as he handed it to Xiaoyu who wanted to have a look.

Xiaoyu shook her head, clueless.

It was clearly a great mage robe as it boosted Intelligence and something called Spell Mastery. But in Gu Fei's case… He could only sigh at the sight of it. Nevertheless, it was much better than the beginner mage robe that he was currently wearing. Just the defense alone is an upgrade! It's gold-tier equipment after all, Gu Fei thought of this as he took off his beginner mage robe and put Midnight Spirit Robe on. It was a pitch-black robe, which truly embodied the darkness.

”You look really evil,” Xiaoyu critiqued.

As Gu Fei was feeling annoyed, he suddenly realized that Chief Edwin had not taken the Fang of the Wolf King necklace despite awarding him this mage robe. In addition, Gu Fei saw that it was still classified as a quest item. Oh? Will I receive another reward if I take it to the Werewolves and let them have a look? Gu Fei could feel hope reigniting within him once more.
